The best thing about today was the people in the hobby that I met, great people willing to spend some time to educate me and help me out!

It is a start, the hunt is on for a good quiet skimmer, and a return pump. OH and an Apex and gyre pump.

And there the list starts,...good luck with the hunt,you will find your treasure.
Good people on Canreef always willing to help.
Oh and welcome to the board.

I got a skimmer, I got a skimmer! A vertex Alpha 170! More then I need I think but should be great. Now looking for an apex and a gyre power head and return pump 1000 GPH.

I bought a new sicce 5 for a return pump. Not sure if I going to keep it as I ran it in the bath tub for a few minutes and thought it was a bit loud. Does anybody have any experience with this?

Got a line on an Apex system now. So most of the main components are covered. Still would like to find a gyre.

Picked up the Apex. Just have to learn how to use it! Seems like it will help make my tank a little easier to manage. I am thinking of getting the Apex automatic feeder, as I am away a lot.

So I broke down and call J & L aquatics yesterday to see if they have a ship date on my tank....They said they are still hoping for the end of April. A little more patience is needed it seems.
